The Ffestiniog are also carrying the torch.

I wonder if there are any other lines involved?

Snowdon Mountain Railway - it is cheating, surely someone should run up Snowdon with it!

Also one of the Manx lines has it.

There could well be 'elf 'n' safety problems. How many times has that lunatic driven his car UP Yr Wyddfa now? Could get knocked down....
